- Lesson: Weeks 1-7

Introduction
There is a strong tradition of creating both sociologically-informed biographies and sociologically-informed autobiographies in the discipline of sociology. The socioautobiography is a "disciplined, systematic exploration of one's life from a sociological point of view" (Hill, 2009, p. 3).
For this assignment, you will reflect on your own life story, making connections between your everyday life/life story and the broad sociocultural structures within which you live. To begin this assignment, consider your own life as you review all the textbook readings and online weekly lessons and decide which sociological concepts you wish to explain in connection to a part or parts of your own life story. Focus on vocabulary words in bold in your textbook reading, for example, and decide which terms apply to you and to your life story.
Please note that you do not need to include, and should not include, intimate or sensitive information about your background in this assignment. There are many very general sociological concepts that apply to each person’s life. If you have an extenuating circumstance, please contact your instructor for additional guidance.
Your paper must contain scholarly support in the form of paraphrases *only* with respective citations from the assigned reading (the textbook/lesson) and the outside scholarly source that you identify on your own. Do not directly quote from sources for this paper, but instead paraphrase in your own words from source material and cite the sources with parenthetical in-text citations and with full APA-style references on a reference page at the end of your essay.

Looking back on my childhood, I can see how it laid the groundwork for who I am today.
The social environment in which I grew up had numerous advantages and disadvantages. I grew
up in a low-income family, very close to relative poverty, which "describes those who may be
able to afford the essentials of life but are unable to maintain an adequate standard of living."
They frequently informed us children that we belonged to the middle class of society. I tried
once more to turn this disadvantage into an asset and used it to become the first member of...
